South Korean developer WEMADE has officially launched its new fantasy MMORPG, Legend of YMIR, to players worldwide. Following its domestic release, the game is now available on both PC and mobile platforms. This global rollout features two distinct versions: a traditional “Web2” version and a blockchain-enabled “Web3” version, made accessible through the company’s WEMIX PLAY platform.
Developed using Unreal Engine 5, Legend of YMIR immerses players in a world inspired by Norse mythology. It offers five playable classes: Berserker, Warlord, Skald, Völva, and Archer. Each class presents unique combat styles, emphasizing manual control and timing-based battles. While an auto-combat feature is available for convenience, WEMADE insists that player skill is crucial for progression and engaging in player-versus-player (PvP) encounters.
Global Availability and Community Engagement Features
At launch, the game supports multiple languages, including English, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, and Thai. Players can enjoy a seamless experience across various regions, with dedicated servers for Asia, North America/Europe (NAEU), and South America. Additionally, players can access their accounts on both PC and mobile devices, enhancing convenience and flexibility.
In a bid to foster community engagement, WEMADE has introduced a “Partner’s Server” feature. This system allows player groups to bid on server operation rights, enabling them to host community events and share in the revenue generated. Furthermore, content creators will benefit from dedicated Streamer Partner’s Servers and a management program called the SSS (Streamer Supporting System), which provides essential tools and resources for organizing events.
Every two weeks, large-scale server-versus-server battles will occur, with top performers earning a spot in the YMIR Cup, an international esports tournament scheduled for early March 2026 in Hong Kong.
Play-and-Earn Mechanics and Promotional Events
Incorporating Play-and-Earn mechanics, Legend of YMIR allows players to earn rewards through WEMIX tokens, which are linked to in-game achievements and competitive performance. To celebrate the launch, WEMADE is hosting several promotional events. These include a two-week Lucky Totem event, where players can win prizes through gameplay, an airdrop distributing NFT in-game items to WEMIX PLAY members, and milestone-based challenges offering high-tier rewards.
The launch of Legend of YMIR not only expands WEMADE’s portfolio but also marks a significant step in the company’s goal to create a player-centric gaming environment. By blending traditional gaming with blockchain technology, WEMADE aims to enhance player involvement and reward dedication within the game.
